Reviews
Had a great time with our guide Joseph! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and I appreciate how the trip was organized logistically... bathroom breaks and such. Joseph also took many photos & shared them with us to supplement our own, which was a nice plus. There was quite a bit of incline to deal with on both the visit to the suspension bridge and the 3rd tunnel, but that was expected... (we had my mother in law in her 80s with us). She was able to do both, but with lots of breaks and going fairly slowly, but ultimately we did make it. If you're reasonably fit it should be strenuous, but no problem. Transportation was very clean and comfortable, and I appreciate the smaller group size as well. While lunch was not included in the price, we did visit a local "cafeteria-style" restaurant where lots of locals ate their lunch. It was very inexpensive, and a quality meal... nothing fancy, but a good opportunity to try "everyday resident food" on our trip to Korea.
Jin was fantastic. it was a well structured trip, epically managing the heat well. 100% worth it
We had a wonderful DMZ tour with our guide Young. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way that made the experience both interesting and memorable. We learned a lot about Korean history and the current situation. A truly impressive experience that we would highly recommend!
